A modern system for a modern company: In the midst of June 2016 TUDOCK launched the Magento 2 based webstore ollo-bikes.com for the German start-up OLLO Bikes, providing an easy to use product configurator for kids’ bikes. With its colorful frontend the shop emphasizes design and inspirational services – and of course the OLLO bike: A lightweight vehicle that children can style in more than 800 variations to fit their personal taste.

“Our aim is to offer a great product, which can be customized and bought online easily, coming along with all the advice needed to make cycling for kids safe and enjoyable”, explains Stefan Klostermann, CEO of OLLO GmbH. Therefore Stefan and Svenja Klostermann’s (Svenja is OLLO’s head of customer experience) top priorities regarding the webstore are usability and performance, with high security and scalability following close behind. E-commerce specialist TUDOCK is the Magento agency behind ollo-bikes.com. TUDOCK recommended Magento 2 as the platform of choice, because the worldwide known open source system is a very suitable solution for integrating creative designs and multimedia content, responsive development, individual functionalities and internationalization.

Michael Wolf, CEO of TUDOCK together with Meet Magento DE speaker Niels Pahlmann, states: “I’m really proud of my team for developing our first real-life Magento 2 store, and such a nice one, too. The product configurator works great on stationary and mobile devices: There are 864 combinations possible at the moment, more will follow. The product image is generated dynamically so children can see their individual design updating almost real-time with each change of design options. Of course the actual design is also displayed in the shopping cart and through the checkout process.” For further information about the cooperation between OLLO and TUDOCK see the interview in TUDOCK’s company blog (in German only).
